I want to thank you all for your good wishes and kind words of wisdom. I needed these responses and take all of your words of wisdom to heart. What a wonderful group you all are. I'll keep you all posted on my whereabouts.

I'm not sure about Texas since I'm in Louisiana but I give dates of employment and whether or not ee is eligible for rehire ... AND THAT'S ALL. I know of an incident where a former employer was sued not for saying negative things about the employee…

hahhahahah that's so funny ... i needed that, thanks Don D.

wonderful insight from you all ... thank you kindly.

I've been saving the messages and instructing the other employees to do the same, not responding at all hoping that it will fizzle out. But it is annoying to all of us who get the phone calls almost daily.

thank you fellas ... you always shed good light.

JCAHO and State surveyors have required me to have them in separate filing cabinets so that only HR and the infection control nurse may have access to medical files. If supervisors have access to HR personnel files and medical files are in the same…
-
The only thing I have to add to that is that medical information is also kept in benefits files, i.e., applications for insurance where medical questions are addressed. That's why I keep those separate as well.

I have three separate files for each employee, kept in three separate cabinets, all under lock and key (1) Personnel File (2) Medical File (3) Benefits File. I have been through 8 JCAHO surveys and have not had any problems with this file order yet…

Rockie, thanks for your words of wisdom ... well taken : )

Wouldn't it have to be done across the board though? For instance, shouldn't policy state that if an employee has worked as a surgical nurse for five years, they get x amount of PTO accrual and if they've worked as a surgical nurse for ten years, t…

Mentoring is an effective way of easing the new ee into his/her position. The mentoring is only as effective as the mentor is, however. I've found it to be very effective in a hospital setting.

thanks Jenn ... and Don, I could get high on Simon & Garfunkle ... that say something about our age?

The company that I am considering has a physical location and is CLIA certified. However, they do an on-site 5 minute urine test and IF that comes up positive, then they send it off to a lab, which is also certified with a similar agency as JCAHO. …

Don, what sort of questions would I ask an on-site company in order to determine their credibility? I guess I'm asking what differentiates a competent from an incompetent drug testing company.

Craig, I am in Louisiana and have opened six inpatient rehabilitation hospitals here. I'm not sure what you want to know but feel free to email me and I'll be happy to share everything that I know. [email]sohappytobe@yahoo.com[/email]

It has been my experience that to adhere to sound HR standards sometimes, as in my case, you must be ready to be released from your duties, especially when you are dealing with superiors who are in the dark pertaining to the role that HR is to play …

DHH and DSS surveyors actually came out to survey the facility for licensing and before they were finished, they announced that we facility did fall within their boundaries and so they left. Now the facility is in waiting to hear from "someone". M…

I've gotten releases from everyone, yes. The problem is that the facility is a partial dual diagnosis "hospital" but it doesn't fall under the umbrella of DHH nor DSS. It's in a gray area somewhere there and no governmental agency wants to claim i…

Do you have an absentee policy? If so, what does it read? Make it read what you want it to read and distibute to staff indicating implementation date. If you don't have a policy, write one and be explicit regarding scheduled days off and unschedu…
